Just because someone took it off a 600 doesn't mean that's where it was originally installed. I have a taillight on my 850 that was never intended to be there, but it is a genuine Ford item.

It is actually off a x01 series Ford. But I found that if I positioned it out there on the end of my fender, the curve of the mounting base was perfect and the taillight lens would be vertical. So I drilled three holes in my original fender (horrors!) and bolted on. It works for me. The third hole is for the wire.

Now if my good old 850 ever gets parted out, someone will sell that taillight and say it came off an 850, which would be an accurate statement, but it wouldn't prove it ever belonged there.
